All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
it's all good for now, and Im so glad that chump rex is gone.

I still don't expect much at all out of this year, but I think there's some positive signs. Our defense looks tough, with the right mentality despite being essentially a bunch of no-names. Offense obviously still has issues, but I expected as much since it wasn't really addressed. Nice to see some competent play plus a bunch of high level draft picks available to us next year.

Looks to me too like the players are buying in. I noticed more than a few times where they correctly pulled up or otherwise avoided the late, stupid hit when I was expecting it. They're starting to play with self-discipline and better awareness as well as plays develop, without that sense of every man for himself that's been all too common when something goes wrong. Maybe a "taking care of business" approach.
I'm pretty happy about what I've seen so far all in all. Nods also to Beane (Gaines and Matthews can play), and Dennison (called a more aggressive, effective game than I expected).

That's the thing, if you can keep it in perspective, it's promising for once, and not desperate.

well, that horse**** fourth and 2 call for a ****ing delay of game made me think otherwise for a minute.
I actually agreed with the call. We were on the 40 yard line so giving up 5 yards to try for an offsides is a good risk. If the punter has the leg to reach the goal line from the 45 or 50 yard line then the 5 yard penalty isn't that big of a deal
Note that I said pointedly said "starting". They look a lot different to me and that doesn't mean they're there yet. I have to consider it improvement and a plus toward something.
